There was a private bath on the rooftop, and although there was a curtain to prevent it from being seen from the parking lot across the street, it was inconvenient as you had to close it after entering. The food was plentiful, fresh and very delicious.

The public bath did not have a view of the ocean. I would have liked an explanation in advance.There are no thermometers or clocks in the sauna.There was no lotion left in the changing room.It's a shame because the exterior and interior were beautiful...

I think all the inns around here are like that, but the scenery is nice. You can see the sunset as it falls to the horizon. The staff's response was also good. The private open-air bath that can be rented for free is located on the rooftop and has a nice view, but is the quality of the hot springs hot? I could smell the chlorine. Maybe it's not a hot spring in the first place?

The rooms were clean, and the open-air bath was spacious and beautiful. My husband doesn't like multi-course meals that take a long time to come out, but some of the food was served at the beginning, and 10 minutes later, everything was ready, and he was very satisfied with the large portions and great taste! I brought my 8-month-old baby with me, and he was able to enjoy the meal in a private room in a stroller. The customer service was also very good! However, I had to leave my car keys with me, and the changing room in the open-air bath was so hot that I sweated profusely even after taking a bath.There was also a footbath right in front of me, so I would like to go there again.

This is the best value for money in the area! First of all, you can feel the intimacy and comfort of the rooftop open-air bath, which is second to none in terms of atmosphere, as well as the satisfaction of taking a photo even if you only take a cursory photo. Be sure to make a reservation in advance and go when the sun goes down. Be sure to bring your cell phone with you to take the photo of your life.If you make a reservation in advance and on a weekday, you can stay at a considerably cheaper price. (I reserved at almost 1/3 of the regular price)The accommodation itself is fine. I was also satisfied with the clean bedding and meals provided indoors. There are many convenience stores and restaurants nearby that are open late at night (isn't it natural since this is a busy area?), so you can enjoy it comfortably. I highly recommend it.

It was my first time visiting Obama Onsen, but I was able to enjoy it slowly at Tsutaya Ryokan. The rooms are clean and compact, and there are yukata robes available. The location is convenient, with convenience stores and public baths nearby. In addition, at the breakfast venue, the employees frequently checked on the refills of rice in the bowl and provided detailed explanations of the dishes, which showed the high quality of service. thank you very much.

The room was a comfortable Japanese-style room with a big TV and a bed! There is no bath in the room, but there are 5 private open-air baths on the 6th floor, which can be reserved at the front desk. If you arrive before sunset, you can see the sunset (the sunset time is written at the front desk).
